Jason, you rock. You must really love to juggle data. I was very impressed when I first found the "Freedom in the 50 States" report. I thought the question "Which state affords the individual the most freedom?" was going to take me a lot of research to form even a tentative answer, but thanks to you, I found my answer in the first page of search results.

"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

Spreadsheets are a fun way to relax for me. Anyway, thanks for the kind words! We are hard at work on the 4th edition of Freedom in the 50 States, and I can tell you that it will be the biggest and best yet - and the results will be very, very interesting!
